From Steam reviews

Review notes

Cold Waters is worth a closer look if you want nautical, emotional story, strong atmosphere, and stealth.

Best for players who want nautical, emotional story, strong atmosphere, and stealth.

Check more carefully if you dislike technical roughness.

nautical

Setting

Water, boats, fishing, or sea travel are important to the feel.

emotional-story

Tone

The story is framed as affecting rather than just plot-heavy.

strong-atmosphere

Tone

The mood, place, and presentation carry a lot of the experience.

stealth

Play style

Avoiding detection is part of the intended rhythm.

replayable

Fit

The structure gives reasons to return rather than finish once.

tactical-combat

Play style

Positioning, planning, and combat choices carry weight.

buggy

Friction

Technical roughness or instability comes up often enough to check.

Steam review snapshots

That being said, although what is here is great, and there is a decent amount of replayability and even a modding community…
Replayable
When you do not, you can suddenly have a ship launch a cruise missile with a torpedo on and drop it close…
Nautical
IF you do stealth well.
Stealth
Surprisingly immersive cold war era sub sim.
Strong Atmosphere

Why it fits

Check it if you want simulation, strategy filtered by weird, single-player.
